IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

PLEASE READ AND SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION AND CARE MANUAL.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including:

Read all instructions.
Remove all bags and packaging from appliance before use.
Make sure the appliance is cleaned thoroughly before using.
Make sure that the SmartStoreTM Dehydrator and its Power Base are completely dry before each use.
Do not cover air vents.
Never operate the SmartStoreTM Dehydrator without the Food Trays or the Lid. All parts must be properly assembled before use.
Do not operate this appliance with a damaged cord, damaged plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
For maintenance other than cleaning, please contact StoreBound directly at 1-800-898-6970 from 7AM – 7PM PT Monday – Friday or by email at support@bydash.com.
Allow appliance to cool completely before cleaning.
When disposing of the SmartStoreTM Dehydrator, do not discard with general household waste; instead, drop off at a designated electronic waste recycling facility.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they are provided with supervision and instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
For household use only. Do not use appliance outdoors or for commercial purposes.
Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces or hang over the edge of tables or counters.
To prevent the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, do not place the cord, plug, or unit near water or other liquids.
Do not place the appliance on or near a hot gas burner, hot electric burner, or in a heated oven.
Turn the appliance off before unplugging from outlet.
If fire occurs use a wet towel to cover and extinguish. Do not use water directly.
Do not use water with this appliance. Condensation while dehydrating may occur. This is normal.
Always be sure to unplug the appliance from the outlet prior to moving, cleaning, and storing and when not in use.
StoreBound shall not accept liability for damages caused by improper use of the appliance.
Improper use of the appliance can result in property damage or personal injury.
Do not immerse the appliance in water or other liquids.
Make sure that the voltage indicated on the appliance matches the local mains voltage. Always make sure that the plug is inserted into a grounded wall socket properly.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not completely fit in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
The power supply cord is short to reduce risk from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if care is exercised in its use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as high as the electrical rating of the appliance. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

PARTS & FEATURES

SmartStore Dehydrator

Using Your SmartStore Dehydrator

BEFORE FIRST USE:
WARNING: The Power Base is not dishwasher safe. Do not submerge the Power Base in water or any other liquids. Hand wash the Food Trays and Lid in warm, soapy water. Wipe down the Power Base with a soft, damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use appliance longer than 72 hours or it will affect the life of the machine. After each use make sure the Temperature Dial is adjusted to the lowest position, turn off power and unplug.

The Food Trays are dishwasher safe if placed in the top rack of the dishwasher and run on the normal cycle. Heavy duty/pots and pans cycle is not recommended.

DEHYDRATING TIPS:

Do not overlap food while placing on Food Trays or overfill the Food Trays. Leave adequate space for air circulation between the food items.
Please wash all fruits, herbs and vegetables as well as trimming all visible fat off meats before placing in SmartStoreTM Dehydrator.
Throughout the dehydration cycle, you can carefully remove the Lid and rearrange the Food Trays for more even dehydration. For example, every few hours, you can move the top tray to the bottom to circulate the trays throughout the dehydration cycle.
Temperatures and times are approximate depending on the humidity and moisture of the food and environment.
Check foods periodically to make sure they do not get overdried.
If not serving immediately, store dried foods made in the SmartStoreTM Dehydrator in an airtight container and put in refrigerator.
Dehydrating times vary depending on size and ripeness of ingredient.
Foods with higher fat content take longer to dehydrate.
If you preheat your Dehydrator, your cooking time will be shorter.

IMPORTANT: The thinner your food is sliced the quicker it will dehydrate. Food sliced over ¼” thick may not dehydrate properly.

Using Your SmartStore Dhydrator

EXPANDING & COLLAPSING
